I wish I had more energy to fight the patriarchy, but all I can seem to muster is abject 'meh'-ness. I can't even get angry anymore, because I don't understand where this hatred toward literally half of humanity comes from. Every time I get into a conversation about 'being ladylike,' 'a woman's role,' et cetera, my…

Oh hell that jacket is sexy, I need it!

Yep. This. My 5 month old has been sleeping through the night for two months now. We have a very standard nightly routine that starts at 7:30. We take her upstairs, read a book and listen to music while we feed her. I plop her in bed while she's still awake and out we go. Yeah, it was hard letting her cry those first…

The only positive thing in this story is hopefully they can never have sex again, so no more spoiled kids.

You wouldn't think they'd need a study, but I am constantly amazed at the number of people who don't see (or don't want to see) the correlation between a regular bedtime and their child's behavior. When my kiddo was in daycare, there was a little girl in his class who would come in howling every morning, put her head…

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised too, but you'd be amazed at how many parents let their kids run wild. I always put my kids to be at 730 as well when they were little, then we could have the evening to ourselves. My son is now 34, and not an asshole. :)

No, they need a study because some parents actually believe that sleep-training and setting limits is child abuse. I have a good friend who co-sleeps with her 3 and 1 year olds and does not give them a bedtime. They sometimes stay up until 11 pm and if they wake up in the middle of the night wanting to nurse or…

All I know is that every weeknight, much as I love BabyNom and playing with him, 9:00 PM marks the "Freeeeeeeeedom Hour". No tugging on my arms or legs while I'm making dinner, no generic whining that could mean anything from "pick me up so I can play with the light switch" to "I want my blankie". Just pure,…

My friend did this. Took in her nephew when he came out and her brother disowned him. Also took in the "illegitimate" daughter (and her poor Mom) of her other brother when he refused to acknowledge her after living a double life for a decade. And then her parents (these kids grandparents) have the gall to complain…

Yeah, totally what happened to the Saturday Night Social?!

You mean the Jezzie's aren't my imaginary friends/co-workers?

When I was 15 I made a friend who lived about 600 miles away by emailing him a response to a blog post he'd made about hating couples (he was 18 and sloppin' over with angst, but responded very kindly.) We stayed in touch for about ten years, meeting once while I was on a road trip at the age of 18. There was never…

Represent. I'm about to show my age like shit but I met my husband in an AOL chat room 13 years ago. I totally lied to my parents about how we met and never did tell them the truth.

Why does my husband insist on buying the gel toothpaste?!? It's so slimy and gross!

It makes basketball season all the sweeter!

And all of the tips contradict each other! (He probably won't have a weapon, because that carries a greater jail sentence. But he WILL cut your clothes off!)

I thought we were already supposed to be afraid to wear our hair in a ponytail because rapists will grab you by it.

Right? I stink. Even with deodorant I'm stinky by late afternoon. It's totally unfair.
